All Eyes Were on the Senate Floor This Week As Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’S Summit) Rose to Rebuke the Senate’S Conservative Caucus
All eyes were on the Senate floor this week as Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit) rose to rebuke the Senate’s Conservative Caucus. Senator Cierpiot is renowned for a quiet, steady demeanor so his prepared commentary was a surprise to nearly everyone. Several of the conservative caucus members ruffled at Senator Cierpiot’s publicly shared viewpoint and admonished him for taking his grievances to the Senate floor as opposed to handling them privately. The question that remains is whether this interfamily fight will have lasting consequences. Border war The House Economic Development Committee met Monday evening to consider passage of SB 182, sponsored by Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit). The bill modifies provisions relating to the issuance of certain incentives to businesses relocating from certain counties in Kansas and Missouri. The proposal is in response to what is commonly referred to as the “border war” and will help curb lease jumping and abuse of economic development tools within an eight-county region surrounding Kansas City. During committee discussion, substitute language was adopted to remove Kansas’ Douglas County. Once modified, the committee passed the bill by a 10-0 vote. Transportation bonding The Senate dedicated floor time Monday afternoon to revisit SCR 14, sponsored by Senator Dave Schatz (R-Sullivan). The bonding resolution funds construction and repair of 215 bridges within the state highway system, not to exceed $301,000,000. Bond duration is limited to seven years, which sums to an annual payment of $46,000,000. The deal is contingent upon receiving a grant from the federal government for road and bridge purposes. -

The Parliament
The Parliament is composed of 3 distinct elements,the Queen1 the Senate and the House of Representatives.2 These 3 elements together characterise the nation as being a constitutional monarchy, a parliamentary democracy and a federation. The Constitution vests in the Parliament the legislative power of the Common- wealth. The legislature is bicameral, which is the term commoniy used to indicate a Par- liament of 2 Houses. Although the Queen is nominally a constituent part of the Parliament the Consti- tution immediately provides that she appoint a Governor-General to be her representa- tive in the Commonwealth.3 The Queen's role is little more than titular as the legislative and executive powers and functions of the Head of State are vested in the Governor- General by virtue of the Constitution4, and by Letters Patent constituting the Office of Governor-General.5 However, while in Australia, the Sovereign has performed duties of the Governor-General in person6, and in the event of the Queen being present to open Parliament, references to the Governor-General in the relevant standing orders7 are to the extent necessary read as references to the Queen.s The Royal Style and Titles Act provides that the Queen shall be known in Australia and its Territories as: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.* There have been 19 Governors-General of Australia10 since the establishment of the Commonwealth, 6 of whom (including the last 4) have been Australian born. The Letters Patent, of 29 October 1900, constituting the office of Governor- General, 'constitute, order, and declare that there shall be a Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and over' the Commonwealth. -

The Protection of Missouri Governors Has Come a Long Way Since 1881, When Governor Thomas Crittenden Kept a .44-Caliber Smith and Wesson Revolver in His Desk Drawer
GOVERNOR’S SECURITY DIVISION The protection of Missouri governors has come a long way since 1881, when Governor Thomas Crittenden kept a .44-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in his desk drawer. He had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and delivery of Frank and Jesse James, and kept the weapon handy to guard against retaliation. In less than a year, Jesse James had been killed, and in October 1882, Frank James surrendered, handing his .44 Remington revolver to Governor Crittenden in the governor’s office. In 1939, eight years after the creation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, several troopers were assigned to escort and chauffeur Governor Lloyd Stark, and provide security at the Governor’s Mansion for the first family following death threats by Kansas City mobsters. Governor Stark had joined federal authorities in efforts to topple political boss Tom Pendergast. Within a year, Pendergast and 100 of his followers were indicted. In early 1963, Colonel Hugh Waggoner called Trooper Richard D. Radford into his office one afternoon. He told Tpr. Radford to report to him at 8 a.m. the following morning in civilian clothes. At that time, he would accompany Tpr. Radford to the governor’s office. The trooper was introduced to Governor John Dalton and was assigned to full-time security following several threats. Since security for the governor was in its infancy, Tpr. Radford had to develop procedures as he went along. There was no formal protection training available at this time, and the only equipment consisted of a suit, concealed weapon, and an unmarked car. -

This week's report focuses so/ne attention on l'ssues brought forward by initiative petitions that could end up before the voters in the 2020 ballot cycle, and some thoughts brought forth on changing that process.
